Twisted Metal is set in a dark and twisted world where cars are the main characters. The story revolves around a mysterious event that brings together drivers from different parts of the globe, each with their own unique abilities and motivations. As the game progresses, it becomes clear that this gathering is not just a coincidence, but rather a catalyst for a catastrophic chain of events.
Gameplay in Twisted Metal focuses on high-octane car combat, where players can choose from a variety of vehicles each with its own strengths and weaknesses. The game takes place in eight different locations around the world, featuring destructible buildings and landmarks that add to the chaos of the combat. Players can use an eclectic arrangement of weaponry, including bombs and missiles, to take down their opponents and emerge victorious.
Twisted Metal was released on the Playstation 3 in February 2012.
